PRA has been busy this fall.
Earlier this month, we published an interactive map depicting hundreds of candidates for federal, statewide, and state legislative office in the 2022 midterm election cycle who represent a definable Electoral Far Right, the insurrectionist edge of American politics. The map identifies 274 candidates who advance multiple categories of bigoted, supremacist, or anti-democracy ideas and policies, and/or are involved with far-right movements which promote these ideologies. Check out the map and its companion report here.
PRA has also resumed our webinar programming with our series Capturing the Center: The Precipitous Spread of Far Right Movements. The first webinar in the series, The Next Frontier: Comprehensive Sex Education in the Post-Roe Era, discussed the Right’s involvement in restricting access to reproductive health care, and how these strategies are being used to block access to evidence-based sex education.
And finally, join PRA for our virtual end of year celebration, "Rooted in Resistance." We'll be recapping our successes in blocking the Right in 2022 while looking ahead to what we are up against in 2023. You can register here.
We look forward to sharing more ways for you to interact with our work.
In Solidarity,
The PRA Team

In this conversation, analysts and organizers broke down the strategies of the Right in restricting access to reproductive health care, and how these strategies are being used to block access to evidence-based sex education. Panelists shared their strategies for ensuring that communities have access to sex education and to reproductive rights more broadly, and how to use messaging to further a just and more inclusive society. |

From the candidates in 2022 races carrying the mantle of the Far Right, to the treatment of anti-LGBTQ persecution as “phobia”, PRA Research Analysts Ben Lorber, Habiba Farh, and Heron Greenesmith name and explore the language and policies that obscure purposeful and concerted programs of social order maintenance. In this conversation, they answered the questions: “How does the designation of 'hate'–i.e. hate crimes, hate groups–and 'extremism' or 'fanaticism' perpetuate hegemonic oppression? And who benefits from this design?”
For security reasons, we will not be making the recording public until early 2023. A transcript is available for your reading.
